I refer to it as being washed vigorously with a brillo pad!! After many expensive lotions, serums - etc etc I finally plucked up the courage to go make up free to my Dr last month and she said "Its Rosacea" (yeah? well ive known that for years) and immediately prescribed me Doxycycline (I wanted to avoid antibiotics but thought heck,if they get me thru the winter). After 1 week, my skin HAS improved, the awful reaction to heat, the burning and stinging has reduced by 50% at least!! I can tolerate a cup of tea without having to leave the office for fresh air. I can continue these pills, at 50mg Im tolerating them well except for constipation which is the only side effect. (Was never much of a goer anyway lol - so maybe this IS intestinal related - I also have Gilberts and had eradication therapy for Helicobacter way back). Also had gall bladder removal at only 28 (I have always been fit,non-drinker, smoker so whats with all this>>). Anyway folks, if you are dreading the winter, try Doxycycline for your Rosacea - it should certainly make things a good bit easier and get us through the most horrible time of the year for Rosacea sufferers!)

I was just diagnosed with rosacea yesterday and have been doing research and getting scared since. When I saw this post -alkaline phosphatase- stood out to me and I went back to look at the results of my last blood tests (in May)which showed that my level of alkaline phosphatase was below normal range. I've been being treated for hypothyroidism, but the tests in May showed that I was taking too much thyroid medication - so Dr. Pushpakaran's comment is also helpful to me. Thank you again for the information you provide. Thanks so much for posting this information. I was just diagnosed with rosacea yesterday and have been doing research and getting scared since.
